FIELD TRIPS: Some camps include field trips in the local area. Transportation for these trips is provided by school buses with certified drivers. Norfolk Collegiate School Summer Program teachers accompany campers
on all field trips. Your registration form includes blanket field trip permission; however, you will be notified of specific field trips before they occur.
EMERGENCY/MEDICAL INFORMATION: Please provide detailed information for your child in the medical and emergency contact section of the application. If your child does not attend Norfolk Collegiate, we must have a copy on file of their Virginia Health Form, which includes an immunization record and recent physical. If medication must be given to your child during camp hours (including EpiPens® and medication related to asthma), a separate form for medication administration and authorization must be completed by the parent/guardian and child’s physician. Please contact the Summer Program’s Office for this form. All medication must be dropped off in the Summer Program’s Office by the parent/guardian.
LUNCH AND SNACK: Students MUST bring their OWN lunch in a labeled bag or lunch box each day. There will NOT be any bag lunches provided this year. Students may also bring additional morning and afternoon snacks and drinks. Refrigeration will not be provided for student lunches. Please make sure your lunch is labeled. Students registered for a morning and an afternoon camp will be supervised in groups from
12-12:30 p.m. for lunch and recess free of charge.
T-SHIRTS: Each participant will receive one camp T-shirt with his/her paid registration. Please be sure to include the participant’s shirt size on the application.
CLOTHING AND PERSONAL ITEMS: All clothing, equipment, electronic devices and other personal items should be labeled with your child’s name. Norfolk Collegiate will not be responsible for any lost items.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Campers will be allowed to use electronic devices when permitted and supervised by the program teacher and the device is being used for instruction purposes. All devices must be kept in personal book bags during lunch, recess and extended care hours.
STAFF: Staff members have been carefully selected to ensure that all students have a safe and enriching summer experience. Each program has been created by a qualified coordinator who will lead the day-to-day activities. Additional assistance may be provided by camp counselors and high school volunteers.
